Description Surgical treatment is still considered as the method of choice for the treatment of meningiomas. The goal of treatment is to completely surgically remove the tumor; complete excision often results in a permanent cure of the patient. The patient prognosis is mainly determined by the completeness of the resection but anatomical location and histological type of the tumor according to the WHO classification also play an important role. Some meningiomas, especially the skull base meningiomas, often involving large vessels and cranial nerves, as well as WHO grade HI meningiomas are very difficult to treat. Patient general health status and internal comorbidities represent another very important factor. The authors describe the most common types of surgically difficult-to-treat meningiomas and describe their experience with surgical removal and additional treatment and surveillance of patients with these tumors.
